Radionics is a form of disease treatment that claims to detect and measure energy fields emitted by living things. It involves using machines to detect areas of tension and send healing energy back to the patient. Despite claims of success, scientific tests have not been able to confirm its effectiveness.
Radionics is a form of disease treatment that was invented in the early 20th century by the American neurologist Albert Abrams. Abrams claimed that all living things emanated an energy field that could be detected and measured. He also called this field a frequency, but it was not measured in units of any kind. Abrams postulated that a healthy person emits different frequencies than an unhealthy one, and he developed machines that supposedly could detect this difference.
Initially, radionics took place with the healer and the patient in close proximity. The patient or client would provide a sample of blood, hair, or written signature, known as a witness. This sample would be placed in a container in the curing machine. A pendulum or other detection device would then be used to detect areas of the core where the surface tension changed.
These areas of strange tension were thought to emit diseased energy, and the healing energy would be sent back to the patient via the machine, or the healer’s own consciousness. During his lifetime, Abrams invented at least a dozen such machines, which were never sold but were always rented to customers on the condition that they were never opened. All devices were hermetically sealed. Abrams’ most popular device was the osciloclast, which he claimed could diagnose and cure a client based on his witness. This device became known as the black box.
After his death in 1924, the American Medical Association (AMA) opened one of Abrams’ devices and found numerous parts, including a capacitor and rheostat. They found no evidence that it could transmit or receive energy waves of any kind. A separate study conducted by Scientific American in 1924 found that all of his devices could not perform the functions that Abrams claimed.
In the 1930s, an American chiropractor and naturopath named Ruth Drown refined the principles of radionics. She argued that the healer and the client could be a great distance away and the healing abilities of the radionics would still work. Drown developed her own black box, which she claimed could send healing radiation long distances. In addition, the box could supposedly create radio photographs of a customer’s organs, simply by analyzing a drop of their blood. Her machine was tested by the University of Chicago, but it did not work as she claimed.
Many countries, including the United States and Canada, still have large communities dedicated to radionics. It is now said that radionic healing depends on the practitioner’s ability to bring the client to a state in which he believes he is healed. This healing depends on the will of the client and does not occur during a specific period of time.
Radionics is often referred to as a form of sympathetic magic. This is because it uses an object that represents a person, in this case a hair or blood sample, to affect the person themselves. No scientific tests have been able to confirm any of the claims made by practitioners of this form of healing.
